Looking for a good deal on a DH/FR wheelset

Working on my '06 Yeti AS-X build. I picked up a 2007 Marzocchi 66 ETA RC2 front fork and a set of Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic brakes. Now I need to get a good set of wheels for the bike. What would you guys recommend for a good wheelset that would fit the DH/FR style of riding?

I found its better to build my own wheelset. I built a set of wheels with WTB Laserdisc FR rims and DMR revolver hubs for less than $200.00. There's a certain satisfaction with building you're own wheels.

Second the Locos

I've never met anyone who said they sucked and most said they lasted for multiple seasons without problems. The Locos are essentially the same as the Outlaws (not as many options as the Outlaws) and for $170 it's a steal. They're kind of heavy (from my perspective 'cause I'm not a DH/FR kind of rider) and they're a little tough to get tires on and off. If you have the proper technique it can happen but forget using tire levers to help, it's all about centering the bead and pulling on them --really hard!

The Loco front hub is convertible from QR to 20mm, which is why I bought a set.

I carry the big steel Park levers for just such cases. Not a problem. My Sun SOS are similar, depending on the tire, they can be a real beyotch. The color choices on Outlaws are cool, but for an $80+ savings, I'm going Loco.

how much were those hubs? are they sealed bearing?
